Epimydium is a layer of fibrous ,dense connective tissue that surround or ensheath the skeletal muscle. The epimydium ensheath the entire muscle and protect the muscle from friction against bones or other muscles. It wraps the whole muscle.

Epimydium is the outer most layer that surround the entire muscle fibre.

Answer 2

Answer:

a. surrounds individual muscles.

Explanation:

Individual muscle fibers have layers of connective tissue surrounding them. Epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium are the three layers of connective tissue that extend from the fascia and protect the muscle fibers. Epimysium is the outer most layer of connective tissue of individual muscle fiber. It encircles the entire muscle. Epimysium consists of dense irregular connective tissue. It serves to separate the muscle fibers from the other types of tissues present in the area to facilitate their independent movement.
